Learn some interesting basic concepts about "Light"
Accent Lighting: lighting that is used to accent or highlight a particular object such as a work of art. Alabaster: is a very fine variety of crystalline gypsum (yeso cristalino) found in nature. It is often used for decorative objects such as light fixtures. A-Line Lamp: the type of incandescent light bulb that is generally used in most indoor residential lighting applications. Alternating Current (AC) (Corriente alterna): the flow of electricity (electric current) in a circuit that frequently alternates direction every second.
Area Lighting: a landscape lighting term that refers to the lighting of large landscaped areas, usually with floodlights Baffle (deflector): is usually a grooved surface (superficie acanalada) that deflects and controls the “flow” of light to soften it and minimize reflected glare. Ballast: an electrical device used with fluorescent and HID (high intensity discharge) lamps (light bulbs)
Barn Doors: 2 or 4 adjustable opaque plates attached to the front of a luminaire. Base CFL: see compact fluorescent lamp Chandelier Circline: a type of fluorescent lamp that is made up of a circular tube of glass. Cornice Lighting: a lighting system comprised of light sources shielded by a panel parallel to the wall and attached to the ceiling and distributing light over the wall.
Dimmer (Atenuador): a device in an electrical circuit used for varying the brightness of lamps in a lighting installation.
Floodlight (foco)
Hardwired (cableado): technically means that the light fixture is permanently connected to an electrical source.
HID Lamp: high intensity discharge (HID) lamps
Light Trespass: also known as "spill light". Light that is emitted into an unintended area. Sconce (candelabro de pared) Uplight
Wattage: the amount of electrical power consumed by a lamp or light fixture measured in “watts”.
